I use the Duct seal. It works well, your can get it off when needed and is
the standard stuff for that sort of work around here in the electrical
industry.

Can anyone tell me what the official name of the putty they use to seal
the holes you run your coax through so bugs don't crawl in the wall or
water doesn't get in? I like to get all my hardware type items from
mcmaster.com. I'm sure they have it, if I just know what it is called I
can find it on their website.

I use a silicone based sealant designed for double glazing fitting. It
stands up to UV rays and stops bugs, rain etc.

Must agree, Duct seal or DUX seal (been a few
years) try Greybar, W.W. Grainger, and other
parts houses- think couple ##s cost around $5-10
and probably last an individual a lifetime
(or take excess to next swap meet, and probably
sell it for about what you paid for it!)

I too buy from electrical supply house. The stuff also makes a perfect
backstop for air-pistol. Comes in one pound blocks. Great stuff.
